Chapter 1035 Put a long line and catch big fish(1/2)
"Plain body."
Emperor Long Jing raised his hand lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The courtiers just stood up.
"Today is the day that the whole country should celebrate together, but there is someone in the north..."
Emperor Long Jing just spoke, preparing to enter today's topic. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a courtier stood up and interrupted him directly.
"I have something important to report!"
The person who stood up was an official in his late fifties. He was Zhang Xili, the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"you……"
Emperor Long Jing's face was startled, with a little sullen look on his face. Is he so expressionless?
How brave you are to interrupt me.
But now that he had stood up, Emperor Long Jing couldn't say anything, so he suppressed his anger for the time being.
But Zhang Xili, the deputy censor of the capital, seemed to have no eye contact at all, and said loudly: "I impeach the current prince Xiao Zheng, and ask your majesty to abolish the prince and establish a new one!"
Everyone is shocked!
I thought he would impeach the Gao family and his son as usual.
If you lose a battle in the army, you will be beheaded, but Takakura Yi fled without fighting several times, which has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the courtiers, and the impeachment of Takakura Yi is like a snowflake.
However, Takakura Yi was only dismissed from his post, and he stayed at home after that without any further punishment.
This makes people even more dissatisfied, and impeachment is normal.
But this time, they actually impeached Prince Xiao Zheng directly!
Hear this.
On the high platform, Xiao Zheng's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously looked at the eldest prince Xiao Teng opposite.
Brother Huang, he actually attacked in advance!
Xiao Teng's face was expressionless, his eyes were watching his nose, and his nose was watching his heart, as if he had nothing to do with him.
"You are so brave, you dare to impeach the current prince?"
As soon as Zhang Xili finished speaking, Gao Lian stood up!
Originally there was no need for him to come forward immediately, but he did not dare to let it go. Since he dared to impeach Xiao Zheng, it must have been premeditated.
So stop it immediately!
"What reason?"
Emperor Long Jing dismissed Gao Lian with a single word.
Gao Lian's face darkened.
His Majesty didn't even let him finish his words. This also shows that Your Majesty really wants to give up on him!
"There are two reasons!"
Zhang Xili said directly: "First, the prince is young and it is difficult to take on big responsibilities. If the country's foundation is unstable, the country will be unstable."
"The second and most important reason is that the prince has no virtue!"
No virtue!
When these two words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar.
Some princeling officials were extremely angry.
This kind of evaluation is not something that can be said casually. Once it rises to the moral level, the impact will be great.
"You said that the prince has no virtue, do you mean that I am blind?"
Emperor Long Jing scolded directly: "Zhang Xili, you are so brave!"
He already knew what Zhang Xili was going to say, it must be about the accidental death of his second son Xiao Meng.
Emperor Long Jing already knew the truth.
He knew but he never said it.
Although the fight for the throne has always been unscrupulous, and even he himself rebelled to seize the throne, it cannot be shown openly.
Once the inside story of this matter is exposed, Xiao Zheng will no longer be able to become the prince.
After knowing the inside story, he was extremely shocked, but he pretended not to know.
Because he needs this young son to be the prince.
From the beginning, his purpose was not to choose a successor, he just wanted to sit on the throne longer...
"Someone is coming!"
Emperor Longjing said directly: "Zhang Xili will be beaten to death with a royal stick if he makes random remarks!"
Very direct!
He just wanted to warn these people not to tell the truth.
Xiao Teng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched his fist.
He didn't believe that his father didn't know the inside story, but he still chose Xiao Zheng instead of him!
This made him completely give up.
The purpose of making him regent was just to warn Xiao Zheng, not to make him the prince!
Father!
Are you so worried that I will compete with you for position?
Then I will really steal it from you!
"Even if you beat me to death, I will still tell the truth!"
Zhang Xili ignored the soldiers walking from the side of the palace and said loudly: "The prince of Chu, Xiao Meng, was killed by the prince. It was he who bribed the king's ministers... You all saw that he was young and friendly, but in fact this is
His disguise!"
"You are brave!"
Emperor Longjing's face was as cold as frost.
"Take him out, take him out!"
At this time, the soldiers had already captured Zhang Xili, but they couldn't stop him!
"Your Majesty, please abolish Xiao Zheng and make the eldest prince the crown prince. Only then can we ensure peace and prosperity!"
"How can such an unscrupulous person become a prince by killing his brother? Please abolish it, Your Majesty!"
Before Zhang Xili could be dragged out, Li Gaoshan, the right deputy censor of the capital, immediately stood up again.
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has conducted a detailed investigation and the evidence is conclusive. Your Majesty, please make it clear!"
"Your Majesty, please depose the crown prince!"
Immediately afterwards, several more officials stood up.
After hearing about this, several officials from the Ministry of Rites who had originally remained neutral began to make suggestions.
The prince did not make a decision arbitrarily, and moral considerations were the top priority.
"you……"
Emperor Long Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Teng.
These are his layouts.
He is the one who wants to force himself to depose the crown prince!
Good son!
What a good son!
At this time, Xiao Teng knew that he had to stand up.
"The Crown Prince has no virtue, please ask Father to abolish the Crown Prince!"
"Am I immoral?"
"Ha ha!"
At this time Xiao Zheng also stood up.
“If I don’t have virtue, do you have virtue?”
Xiao Zheng's still childish face was filled with endless coldness!
"Ever since my father appointed me as the crown prince, all of you have started targeting me!"
To be continued...
